Amri, A. and Corbel, P. « Explorer les difficultés d’acquisition de compétences via des partenariats avec des startups : une étude de cas dans l’industrie pharmaceutique », 13th AIMS Innovation Thematic Group Workshop, Toulouse, October 2023
Abstract:
This paper presents an exploration of relations with startups as seen by the holders of key R&D skills: the experts. Based on an ongoing case study in a major international pharmaceutical group, and more specifically on the analysis of 20 of the 64 interviews conducted, it highlights the limited interweaving of internal processes and those linked to partnerships, as well as difficulties that are rarely highlighted in the literature. Certain practices may even conflict with the construction of knowledge capital within the company on a given subject, even though this is precisely one of the objectives of these partnerships.
